Against this book, which so electrified the world, much has been said, and naturally enough, for M. Lamar tine has had an implacable enemy to his talents as historian and orator in his reputation as a great poet. In France, one likes to discover weakness in genins, and it suffices, if a man d solars great talent la t nj particular direc tion, for tne world toconsiuer him incapable ot' anything else This presumed inferiority con soles envy. M de Lamartice is a great histo rian. precisely because be is a great poet. ?ince when has poetry been decraeaa stranger to history' iinoe when has Homer censed to he a great historian? The new edition of L'Histoire des Girondins is published with lux urious eleganoe, illustrated by portraits en graved on steel?an additional proof of the value of the book It is ccrtainly rare in these days to find books which are reread or repub lished The interest In Hume, the American medium, has recently b?en revived by a singular inci dent. which 1 will relate to you A few even ings ainee, a select company of Russians and Parisians were assembled at Madame do la Cointesse de T.'s. 'Ihe conversation was on spiritual manifestations when M. Humeentered. Then followed a serious discussion regarding the manifestations ot spirits?if it were possible to obtain from them useful service, salutary in formation. counsel, advtce, or even recompense or chastisement. M Hume declared that tbe.ie manifestations, permitted by Supreme Power. e>uldnot be considered as frivous ezperienco by any one in |>o*sesaiou of reason; that he had never known ot a spiritual manifestation which bad not produoed good results; and he was con vinced thai the Supreme Power often employed such supernatural agency to punish the sins of men. 'ibis assertion quieted the objections of ?one, bat was received with credulity by many of the oompany. Suddenly M. Hume arose from the couch on tfhioh he was se.ited and said? 44 Madame la Comtessc, you are expecting a visit this evening from a stranger." " It is true,'' replied Madaiuo do T.; " but how came yon to know it " It matters little ?you expect him ?" "Yes; Lv?rd R., a young map of much merit, who arrived to-day in Paris. He has not seen any one as yet. and leaves to-morrow m >rning llow, then, did you know he was coming this evening .'"' ?'I know only he is coming; I have never ^een him ; I did not know his name; but it has jnst been revealed to me that an extraor dinary event has recently occurred in a cha teau belonging to his famiiy-an illustration of chastisement by spirital agency. He lnts arrived?he rings?let him relaio the event.'* The door opeued, and the servant announced Lord R. Madame T. presented M. Hume to Lord II., and related the previous conversation and as sertion of the American medium. Lord R.'s tace expressed the greatest surprise. '? I have never related to any one." he said, "that which I shall now toll you. on account of M. Humes curious revelation. Heisright; a strange and fearful event has recently oc curred in my family; but you shall judge for yourselves." My elder brother had been married six years to the daughter of Lord M , when he be came acquainted with an actress of Drury Lane Theatre?Miss E. The liaison of my brother and Miss E being anon known, did him the greatest injury, and was a cause of deep grief to his wife. Riinded by his passion, my brother braved the world's opinion, and became indifferent to his wife's sufferings ; ho obliged Miss E. to leave the thoatre, gave her an elegant house in London, and during the summer took ber to Scotland, that he might not be separated from her. His wife died with sorrow, and in dying committed her two tons to my care My brother's un happiness at this event was mingled with re morse. but he refused to separate himself fr<>m Miss K A year since he was in Scotland at ehateau near Edinboro'. MissE was there also. One nigh! he had a dream that his wife ap neared to him He saw her figure bonding over Li* bed. and board her robbing bitterly. "Why do you weep, Anna ?" he asked in hia dream ?' I weep, because the actress who robbed me of mv husband's love, will also deprive my ohildren of tb?ir father s affections, replied .the spirit 44 ion are deceived, Anna; nothing can weaken the tender affection I have for my children." 44 Alaa! you think 10, but she will prove atroager than your will; yet I am come to pro tect you from her arts. Here is the veil I wore ?on our wedding day?keep it always?it shall save you and my children from the snares of that woman !" Saying these words she folded the veil and placed it round my brother's neok, then kissing him on the forehead, she disap peared On feeling the Icy tears streaming over bis brow and fLos he leaped from his bed, and gased around him to assure himself ho had Men dreaming ?but suddenly a piercing cry broke from his lips?the veil was about his neok ! This vision, mingled with the reality, louobed bis heart; he was resting against the bed lost in thought, when Miss E entered the room Seeing trace* of violent agitation on bis features, she demanded the cause. *? My dear Helen," he replied. our life is calpable.it must cbaage?God ordains it!" tie then related the dream, and showed her the Veil ?v Is that all V s iid Helon laughing heartily "Ton have, indcod, lost your aits' Do you not see that this is a trick played ou you by some member of your wife'* family ??but stay. X will destroy at once the charm with the talis man She tore the veil from his neck, ran to the fire and threw it into the dames. In the swift ness of fur movements, her dres", which was very ample, displaced suddenly a large volume of air. drawing the dames out fr?ui the chimney iau> the room A tongue of dame swept round -the young girl, instantly enveloping her light. Jree robe. and. in apite of immediate su^-f^r, she expired in the most horrible sufferings. You will ruiustnbcr. the journals of tha d.*y ji.nuo'ju4od the fearful death of Miss E ; but the singular history ejunectod with the event bus remained until now a ?ocret. It ia needless to add that the persons present ware deeply atfeeted and impressed oy the ?Lory of Lord R. All Paris is at present occu pied with it* details Unfortunately. I wp.s not present at that soiree, but, as a faithful reporter, I repeat to you that whieh the Count N baa told me, who was not only present, but Las siuee boooute a faithful disciple of Mr. Hume On the twonty seventh of January last, a poor Swisa, with his organ on hia back, entered (be court-yard of the house occupied by Ros atut. During a half hour the man played a ?jl lection of airs taken from the re;>ertoire of the great master He was performing for the cecond time the serened# from the Barbier de Seville, wbeu two persons passed out of the bouse- a young man. with a Uosd moustache, and an aged man. whose bne head and intelli gent face we all know and love It ?as R-,* sini himself J hey upproachtd the organ. h?.Mini put his hand into bia pocket for a piece of money, when be paueed and asked? ? M/b rave fellow do you know what y< u have been flaying there*" 44 If I knoir' parhlnt?'w is from the uanter of master*?the great Rossini!" ?? And the other air which preceded " '-Always Ro.-stni's?and all the rest are his alao. To-day, you *oc\ I do not play anything but his ttiusic. and I will not offer to him any thing. playing, as I do. under his windows, but the serenade from the Barbier." 4' A serenade I to Rossini' and why to-day'" 44 Have you forgotten the date then ' To-day M the 27th of January. the auuivcraary of the birth of Roflaini." Rossini on bearing tbis reply was deeply touched : his eyes filled with tears, as be said to hia friend, '? This poor organ-player is the only person who has remembered the day. AH my friends have forgotten it. I, myself, bad not thought of it. You may believe me. I have bad great triumphs in my life, but no ono of tbem ever affected me more than the remem brance of this poor fellow.'' The master took from his purae a piece of gold of one hundred francs, and gave it to the organ-player, who was overwhelmed at bis sud den fortune. Whilst ll?Mioi pursued bis way. the young man said to the Swiss? 41 It is the master himself?it is Ross'ni who has eiven you this piece of gold !" " Rossini!'; exclaimed the Swiss; and run ning after him he kissed with transport the hem of his ooat, saying? " Thanks, thanks, master ; it it not a piece of gold which you have given uie. bat a medal, which I shall preserve all inv life!" Ros?inl relates this incident as being his groatest triumph. Au revoir, B. A JKSnr MissfoMarv on Tn? Mormons.? A Catholic Missionary of the Society of .Jesos, writing from the Flat Uoad Reservation ill Washington Territory, under date of January 27th, says: '? The whole subject of conversation here, in our hitherto quiet Mission, is about our neigh bors, the Mormons. The misguided fanatics, completely hemmed in by the American sol diers, and almost destitute of the necessaries of life, can neither retreat to the United Stated nor California. As their only chance of escape is by our Mission, through the Flat Head Val ley, it is reported that they have determined to make it the route of their now exodus, and have already commenced the measures neces sary to secure their retreat. One hundred men are employed in building a fort near Fort Hall. They have built another at the distance of only four days journey from the St. Mary's Mission auiong the Flat Heads. You see. then, that we are in considerable danger, us it is a por tion of their creed to show no mercy to the Gr utile* " Thoso who sottled among them, or in their neighborhood, have only escaped death by a hurried flight. Of the number was Mr. Grant, a former employeo of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, who has just arrived at the Mission of St Ignatius, with 2i><? head of cattle, lie wad accompanied by Mr B. F. Ficklin, Agent for the Quartermaster of the U. S. Army, who has come hero to purchase from our Indians a sup ply of g??od horses for the MS of the army, this officer assures us that the Mormons will be soon reduced to obedience by famiue alone, whioh has already commenccd its frightful rav ages among them. The great prophet, Brig h.iai Young, in a recent decree, has ordered ail the young men of fifteen years old. and the girls of twelve, to marry immediately, each boy to have at least two wives. L>ut what caps the climax of his iufatnies. and creates a loath ing for his iinpuro creed even among the most savage Indians, is that, in order to preserve thu race of the prophet in all its sacerdotal pu rity. and to prevent a mixture with the infe rior raccs of Saints, he has obliged all the mem bers of his own family to intermariy among themselves, so that a brother takes as many as he] pleases"of his own sisters for his wives! He loads his blinded and infatuated followers with enormous taxes?RO pcrccnt?and by that means has amassed a princely fortune. As it is fear?d ho will run away with his immense plunder, hi? people witch him closely to pre vent his escape." Sketch or Lcthkk. bv Carlvlb.?A coarse, rugged, plebeian face it was, with great crags of cheek bones?a wild amount of passionate energy and appetite! But in his dark eyos were floods of sorrow ; and deepest melancholy, sweetness, and mystery, were all there. Often did there seem to meet in Luther the very op posite poled in uiau's character. He, for ex ample. for whom Kichter had said that hid words were half bullets, he. when he first be gan to preach, suffered unheard agony. " Ob. T>r. Staupitz. Dr. Staupitz," said he to the vi car geueral of his order, kI cannot do it. I shall die in three months. Indeed I cannot do it.'' l)r. Staupitz, a wise and considerate man, said upou this ** Well, Sir Martin, if you must die. you must; but remember that they need good heads up yonder too So preach, man, Sreach, and then live or die as it happens." o Luther preached and lived, and he became, indeed, one great whirlwind of energy, to work without resting in this world, and also be fore he died he wrote very many books?books in which tho true man?for in the midst of all they denounced nnd cursed, what touches of teudemess lay. Look at tho Table Talk for example. We see in it a little bird, having alighted at sunset on the bough of the pear tree that grew in Lutber's garden. Luther looked upon it and said : " lhat little bird, how it covers its wings. and will sleep there, so still and fear less. though over it are the infinite starry spaces, and the great blue depths of immensity \ et it fears not?it is at home. The same Ood that made it too, is there." Tho same gentle spirit of lyrical admiration is in other pas sages of bis book. Coming home from Leipsic in the autumn season, he breaks forth into liv ing wonder at the fields of corn. "How it stands there.*' be says, 4' ereet on its beautiful taper stem. and bending its beautiful golden lmad with braad in it?the bread of man sent to him another year ?' Such thoughts as these are as littles windows, through which we gaic inte the interior of tho depths of Martin Luther's soul, and sco" visible, across itf tempests and clouds, a whole heaven of light and love. He might have painted?he might have sung? could have been beautiful like Raphael, great like Michael Angelo. A gentleman of Norfolk. Ya., had a fine negro, to whom be gave the privilege of hiring himself out and keeping one bait the wages A short time since the negro came home to his master to tell him that the man for whom he hud been working wished to buy bim and would give $12(10 for niui. '?Well.' said his master, "what of that? I don't wish to sell." " But you see, massa," said Sam. " I'se had a cough sometime and specs I'm gwine into desuuiption. I don't spec I shall lust more'n two or three years, and I'd like to take dat man in !" A mized up law suit came ott lately in Ver mont.
